Cher Lloyd gets all American in the new video for 'Want You Back'

America, meet your newest pop star.
With the sudden and unexpected success of The Wanted (mmmm sexy) and One Direction (eh, we'll have a few drinks first) in the US, other British teen-pop artists are trying to get in on the action.  The latest is X Factor non-winner Cher Lloyd, with her single 'Want You Back.'  It already came and went in the UK, but for some reason her handlers think that this could be the song to break her in America.  BECAUSE IT IS PROPERLY TREMENDOUS.

We already went on and on about how brilliant it was as a tune back when it was originally released, so we'll save you all that nonsense and on that score just say that the "rap" bit by something called an Astro has been taken out and the song is a billion times better because of it.  The weird thing is that Astro is actually an American rapper, so they've removed the one thing US audiences might recognize.  Having said that, the rap was the kind of cringe-worthy "featuring" nightmare that makes us want to sit on a knife, so regardless of how it may hurt the track's chart prospects this has to be considered a win all around.

As for the video, it's a lot like the UK version, in that it involves Cher DOING FACES and BEING SEXY and also dumping edible things on people she doesn't like but of course in this version everything takes place in a diner because what could be possibly more "America In 2012" than a 50's diner..

The key here is that as much as the whole thing is just an HD version of Mandy Moore's 'Candy,' it works (and works rather spectacularly) solely on the back of Cher's undeniable charisma.  She comes off as more authentic and committed than any of the Jojos or Jessica Simpsons or Avril Lavignes, because even though we know she's faking every second of this bullshit, we can also see how much she enjoys it.  She's making those faces because that's what Cher Lloyd does, not because someone told her to.  Never mind the fact that someone obviously told her to.

'Want You Back' (US VERSION) is, in sum, a cute little video that serves as a neat introduction of Cher to American audiences, which is probably exactly the point.  So, well done everyone, cheap champagne all around.

Oh and also there's a puppy.  A really cute puppy.

However, there are plenty involving predators internet. Erectile people plus monetary people. Beware involving scammers plus fraudsters. There are people internet that earn an income outside of conning people by way of pretending [url=http://beautifulcoachbackpacks2t.webs.com/]http://beautifulcoachbackpacks2t.webs.com/[/url] to be desperate for money and asking for help or wanting to meet up to get a visa or passport.Long distance relationships can seem very romantic. Think carefully about meeting anyone who lives a long way away. It may look very romantic and exciting now but will it still seem like that when the date is over and they are hundreds of miles away?
By no means meet up with a totally innovative man in a very peaceful unpoopulated region. Constantly meet up with in a very court position. Notify anyone you are able to rely on plus count on wherever that you're likely plus you should get your cell phone [url=http://coachfactoryhandbag3e.webs.com/]coach factory handbag outlet[/url] phone on you. Tell them you will let them know when you return home. You may well think it is a good idea to meet for a drink the first time so that you do not lose a whole evening to what might be a wasted and pointless meet. Think outside the box. People now meet up for a drink during their lunch hour when it is a first meet and then perhaps arrange a much longer meet when they are more sure of the person. Others meet for a drink after work and then go on to a whole evening with a [url=http://ccoachonlineoutlet.com/]Coach Factory Outlet[/url] trusted friend after. Serial daters can fit in dozens of first meets in a week! I find out a lot more about them BEFORE meeting and only meet a few that I know I will not regret meeting. This is how to meet a date online.

In case it is important for your requirements your subsequent day is usually a man who's blonde with azure eyes next tend not to get diverted that will anyone who's certainly not. There are huge numbers of people available. However make sure you [url=http://coachfactorybackpacksoutlet3o.webs.com/]coach factory backpacks [/url] be realistic. If you are fat, bald, ugly and 75 years of age do not insist the next date is far better looking than you and half your age, or you may well be looking and looking and never ever finding.Think of the things that really matter to you. Perhaps you are very keen on having children, love animals and are a homebody. Then it would be pointless [url=http://coachfactorybackpacksoutlet3o.webs.com/]http://coachfactorybackpacksoutlet3o.webs.com/[/url] to date someone who hates animals and works in a meat factory and loves to go out all of the time.Men should beware of women who are looking for a meal ticket and while it happens less often it does happen the other way around where successful [url=http://beautifulcoachfactorybackpacks3t.webs.com/]coach factory backpacks online[/url] hard working women may get loafers or spongers wanting to meet them. Beware of the woman who wants you to go shopping with her and expects you to let her use your credit card.
Constantly strongly encourage in discovering almost everything you experience you have to understand prior to thinking of interacting with. Beware involving anyone who's in a very massive rush based on right after an easy chitchat. These people are likely to get [url=http://beautifulcoachfactorybackpacks3t.webs.com/]http://beautifulcoachfactorybackpacks3t.webs.com/[/url] something to hide or they do not think things through. I would suggest that you chat to them online and when you feel safe with them move on to emails, then phone calls and then a meet. If your gut instinct tells you that the person is fishy, boring or not interesting enough then end it and move on to someone else. Whenever I talk to my clients about the dates they have met off line and the ones they have met say ten times and then stopped meeting they always stopped because eventually after ten meets they found out something they needed to know, such as that the other person has been in [url=http://www.ccoachfactoryoutlets.com/]online coach factory outlet[/url] prison or hates children. It is sensible to make sure about such important things before meeting rather than meeting the person ten times and then eventually finding out. Why waste such a lot of precious time on meeting someone who is unsuitable? Make a list of questions to ask the person before you meet and only meet them if you like the answers.
